中学”的英译为 middle school 或high school 或secondary school,究竟以何者为正确的翻译?又英美学校用语是否相同? 初中与高中用哪个好?
【解答】问句中对“中学”的三种英译名都是正确的, middle school用于中国和日本一带, high school用于美国, secondary school用于英国。
“中学”包括“初中”和 “高中”, 所以三个地区的“初中”和 “高中”分别为:
junior middle school, senior middle school,
junior high school, senior high school
junior secondary school, senior secondary school
